Solution for Bev and Keith..........

[Buddyblazon]

Okay...Bev says she wants to show the video, and has.

Keith wants to show the video.

So here's a novel idea...SUCK IT UP...BEGIN TALKS...AND GET THIS MUTHA AIRED! For pete's sake. Put the ego's aside. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE GOOD OF OUR NATION!!!

Here's a novel idea...maybe NEITHER of them were lying. If a PRODUCER called Bev and said, "We've decided to pass.", and then walked out of their office...down the hall...to Keith's dressing room and said, "Hey...she just cancelled.",...would any of you be shocked? This is war. To think that this couldn't happen is naive. Not saying that it did, but it IS a possibility.

So, I lay down a challenge to both of you, Keith AND Bev. Be adults. Get this stuff on the air. Put aside this childish squabble. You two are trying to save the world from evil. If you can't do it without each other (or if your cause would be advanced by cooperation) WHY would you not WORK WORK WORK to get this stuff on the air.

SUCK IT UP! FORGET THE STUFF FROM THE PAST TWO DAYS...AND DO IT!

1. Well put!

2. Exactly.

Everybody act like the adults that their driver's licenses say that they are.

Dialogue and comprimise are adult qualities.

[Occulus]

3. that's what I think it was

Communications SNAFU between TV producers/assistants and Bev's team. Although... booking someone for a show (thus clearing their schedule for the day) and then canceling is an effective means of preventing that person from continuing their work. :tinfoilhat:

I agree they should talk it out, though. No more mud slinging; too much is at stake.

7. And Buddha bless you...

5. If people want that to happen, here's the way to get it done....

Write polite letters to both of them, asking both to set aside any differences or misunderstandins, and work together for the greater good of the cause that both are fighting for.

Taking sides, writing e-mails to Keith about his statements about Bev, or emails to Bev about her actions/inactions--all of this only serves to drive a wedge between them. It only encourages still more of the he-said she-said stuff that we're seeing now. That does not help us to get what we want.

6. That's why I'm criticizing Bev.

Ultimately, I just want her to show the tapes. I criticize her because I know she can do better, not that I want to destroy her efforts.

13. Criticize only when you've fought the fight she has

Otherwise it's all bullshit

8. I'm sure it's not as big a deal as it appears.

For the most part they're on the same side, only KO is more cautious. They'll find an agreeable solution.

[Darknyte7]

9. Exactly!!!

This has all been SOOOOOOOOOOO counterproductive. Is there anyone here on DU that is in a position to facilitate this?

[Buddyblazon]

11. Yea....

US!

[Buddyblazon]

10. Here are both of their email addresses....

[e-mail]

[e-mail]

Ask them nicely to speak. And speak ONE ON ONE. NO GO BETWEENS.

Ask them to please get this on the air. To put the last two days aside.

12. Bev Harris is the only one who can fix this.

If KO's version is accurate -- that BH won't appear on his show -- then there's really nothing he can do, is there? If people are writing to him and criticizing him for not having her on, I don't blame him for wanting to defend himself in his blog.

If BH's version is accurate, all she had to do was post something along the lines that AmyCrat suggested:

"We are investigating the possibility that there has been a misunderstanding between the Countdown with KO Show and BlackBoxVoting.org regarding his recent editorial. We do wish to appear on the show, and will work with KO and his staff to resolve any conflicts and keep you posted."

Either way, Bev Harris is the only one who can take any action here.
